How much will a prostate seed implant disrupt my lifestyle?
Most patients feel surprisingly well on the day following implantation. Some have gone as far as playing a round of golf (we don’t recommend that). Certainly by the next week, nearly all are able to return to their normal routine including work and other activities. Bladder irritation will cause urinary frequency and some sense of urgency by the third or fourth week following the procedure, but this rarely significantly affects lifestyle. We recommend abstaining from sexual intercourse for at least two weeks, and to refrain from bicycle riding for 2-4 weeks, but otherwise there are no limitations.
